Well said Warrant. To add to the quick hands of the Squalicum guards, I thought Squally's defense as a whole was awesome. As it was mentioned, Mattix did a great job of denying Meyer the ball down low, and even when he did get the ball, it was usually quite a ways away from the rim. The entire game, it seemed like the Lions had a difficult time getting the ball inside of the 3-point arc at all, and when they did take a look at the long ball, very rarely was it without a hand in the face. Usually when you clog the middle, you are giving up the outside, and vica versa. I think that speaks to the entire team speed of the Storm.
It just seemed to me that Squalicum was playing the aggressor for most of the night (even when the Lion's were making runs). Lynden was out of sync, throwing the ball all over, struggling to get in their sets, while Squal played their game, and when it came time to finish, they stepped on the Lion's throats.
